Yup so one day my girlfiend was driving my XJ . And for whatever reason didint notice the red light and BLAM! Well the honda civic took some heavy front end damage. and my Jeep eh the driver side got smashed in up to the frame rail and stopped there. lucky I'm a Mechanic/Body guy. I could fix it but it will never be the same again. Guess now is will make the perfect rock crawler.

 

As long as everyone walked away uninjured, then the rest is just a matter of money and time. I say cage it and wheel the snot out of it. You have until October to get it built and meet us all in Moab. Get busy!

 

I sure will! And yes everyone was ok. Roll cage here we come!

 

That's to bad,glad your all ok! Nice job on the fix have any pics
of the out side damage?

 

This is before I touched it. Last pic I'm pushing it out just so I could get the doors to open

 

ouch! that doesnt look good. good thing you know how to fix it.
i would like to see how it looks when its done. thanks

 

good excuse to go doorless, right?

 

no, good excuse to chop the top off, go doorless, cage it and wheel the **** out of it.

 

I like that idea!

 

No panzy chop-tops though. the unibody is pretty much screwed at this point, why try to make it pretty? just chop the whole top off and graft a YJ windshield onto it..(cause then you can fold it down while wheeling) and then get your girlfriend to make a bikini top for it. After a cage of course

 

Something like this.

 

Just like that but without the doors.

 

Best idea yet. Glad everyones ok. Lesson learned Don't let the Woman drive the XJ

 

Not quite, he has a removable hardtop XJ....better to just chop the top off. Plus you need to make the windshield able to fold down if you cut that much of it off.

If you're full topless, going doorless too just looks stupid IMO.

Haha, I let my ex drive mine all the time and we're still really good friends and I wouldn't hesitate to let her drive.

 

What a blast from the past lol
